What’s Skype got to do with it!
We had spun out of PCHOME/SKYPE in Taiwan only to go right back and reconsider how we can leverage a direct relationship again with SKYPE. In recent months Oprah has promoted Skype on her website and as of yesterday Skype has rolled out a global Voice over IP plan to include unlimited talk time for $2.95 for US/North America and $11.95 for monthly unlimited talk time for all other countries (for details go to SKype homepage).
Our products are optimized and certified for Skype and so it wouldn’t seem to make much sense now to try to break away into this broad use market until we can really drive it home while riding Skype’s marketing efforts in North America. Its all about being involved in all the round ups with Skype and conversations about Skype for the next 6-12 months.
The best part about being a smaller operational unit in America is that we can be agile to move where we can see the best use of our resources (ROI). Worst part is we are often limiting our way of thinking due to the fact that we are a smaller unit.
